Roguelike Roundup 2: Slay the Spire and One Step from Eden

We’ve stacked the deck with our second Roguelike Roundup to include two very interesting indie games: Slay the Spire and One Step from Eden. Both of these games are ‘deck-builder rogue-likes’ that take the mechanics of collectible card games and blend them with rogue-like game design for a very potent mechanical combination. However the most interesting thing about these two games turns out to be the incredibly divergent way they each chose to interpret how to implement this combination.
